Able to grow with smaller, more linear increments of investment
The basic license that comes with the box allows basic virtualization features but advanced automation features would require an upgrade of licenses.

Red Hat Ceph Storage is used in private cloud deployments with OpenStack and Kubernetes. It supports block, object, and file storage, appealing for cloud environments. While users value its scalability and reliability, challenges include performance issues needing fast hardware. Users also seek improvements in compatibility, user interface, and resource consumption.
The other big advantage is that Ceph is free software. Compared to traditional SAN based storage, it is very economical.
There is no cost for software.

The first 1-2 years of purchasing vSAN will be expensive. Thereafter, the longer you are running it, the more cost savings you will have.
Its reasonable, compare with other storage vendors

All-in license, simple and fair.
This solution, while costly as all these solutions are, was in fact less expensive than upgrading my old SAN.

In my case, the licensing per terabytes is very high and it must be licensed for each extra functionality.
This solution allows the use of off-the-shelf hardware and charges by the TB of storage.

HPE StoreVirtual is used for servers, storage, and databases like Oracle and VMware in sectors such as sales, enterprise, and healthcare. It supports Hyper-V, iSCSI-based storage, and backup. Valued features include High Availability, network RAID, ease of management, and flexible scalability. Challenges include interface updates, management complexities, and limited VMware integration.
Licensing is not exactly straightforward, but not the worst I have ever seen.
One of the key features about it is that when you buy either a VSA license or a StoreVirtual appliance, all your software's included.

We would like the CPU cycle to save more on the licensing costs for us.
Do a proof of concept, if you are not comfortable jumping in, but do it.
